Latin America has 35,000 kilometres of borders that represent the geographical limits of each country. They are also the line that separates the legal from the illegal. A very thin line that many are willing to cross. Yet, at each border, many men and women stand their ground, from the police to customs enforcement, in the hopes of stopping those who are trying to break the law.
